The Big Lebowski (1998) (18)

This classic screening is presented as part of Dartmouth Book Festival 2026 – at which Sir Roger will be talking about his new book: Reflections. Showing as part of Reflections: A Roger Deakin retrospective - a series of films celebrating the cinematography of Dartmouth’s Academy Award Winner. The Big Lebowski begins with a case of mistaken identity which escalates when Jeffrey Lebowski - alias The Dude - attempts to seek recompense for the despoilation of his ratty-ass little rug, and then finds himself entangled in a kidnapping caper as a bagman - a situation that goes from bad to worse due to the interference of his hapless bowling partners.
